Our business model reduces GHG by default
Our embedded manufacturing plants as well as nearby sites, lower CO2 emissions by eliminating, or reducing, the transport of empty bottles.
By operating 86% of our sites within our customers’ premises or near them, in 2022 Logoplaste avoided the release of 15 005 tons of CO2, a 2% increase compared to 2021 (14 663 tons CO2).
We also evaluate the avoided CO2 emissions by plants that inject their own preforms to produce bottles, eliminating preform transportation and secondary packaging.
In 2022 these, self-sufficient, plants helped reduce 21 162 tons CO2 emissions.
Since 2017 Logoplaste has been tracking its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions according to international standards, as this is crucial to build a well-founded sustainability strategy and setting ambitious goals and targets to help mitigate our environmental impact.
In June 2022 Logoplaste signed the SBTi (Science Based Target Initiative) commitment letter to:
- Set science-based emissions reduction targets (near-term targets) by 2030
- Set net-zero targets, including a long-term science-based targets by no later than 2050, in line with the SBTi Net-Zero Standard
For more information, please read the STB Letter of commitment
Our aim is to submit our SBT targets for approval by mid-2023, only one year after our commitment, so we did a full inventory of our GHG emissions.

Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions
Logoplaste’s operational GHG emissions
Scope 1 GHG emissions are direct emissions from the use of fossil fuels within Logoplaste, plus fugitive emissions (resulting from refrigerant gases leaks).
Scope 2 GHG emissions are indirect emissions from the purchase of electricity for Logoplaste sites and offices.
Absolute Emissions
In 2022, the total of Scope 1 & 2 (market-based) emissions– Logoplaste’s operational CO2e Emissions - was 84 899 tons of CO2e.
This represents a decrease of 5.4% compared to 2021. And a 20% reduction in Operational GHG emissions when compared to base year, 2019.

Scope 1 emissions continue to represent a very small slice (5%) of our absolute emissions.
The reduction in our absolute emissions is due to a significant improvement in the use of renewable electricity, decreasing our scope 2 emissions.
Details of our scope 1 emissions and our scope 2 location-based emissions.
In addition to accounting our absolute scope 1 and scope 2 (market-based) emissions, in 2019 Logoplaste established a corporate GHG emissions reduction target:
Only three years after setting this ambitious target, we have accomplished a 20% reduction.
Logoplaste's Operational CO2e Reduction Target
| YEAR | Emissions (Tons CO2e) | Variation from 2019 (%) |
| 2019 | 106 515 | - |
| 2020 | 129 457 | 22% |
| 2021 | 89 702 | -16% |
| 2022 | 84 899 | -20% |
Note: 2020 and 2021 values were reviewed due to updated electricity emissions factors.
As Logoplaste’s largest contributor to operational CO2e emissions is electricity, moving to renewable energy sources, and having central teams negotiating our energy supply contracts and evaluating projects, was key to achieving this result.
To reach our target, we continue to work across all our sites to implement the best local solutions and in our wall to wall operations—where our customers decide on the electricity provider—we are working together to make the swap to less CO2 intensive energy sources.
Emissions Intensity
Coupled with our Operational CO2e emissions target, Logoplaste defined an intensity indicator that shows the amount of CO2e emissions from electricity usage relative to production (tonnage of raw materials transformed)*, setting a target for 2030:
In 2022, Logoplaste’s intensity indicator was 0.246 tons CO2e / ton of raw material, representing an improvement of 20% compared to 2021 and an improvement of 37% when compared to base year 2019. This 2022 result exceeds the established target.
Higher use of renewable energy along with energy efficiency initiatives, were the primary reasons for our intensity target accomplishment.
CO2e emissions intensity indicator
| YEAR | CO2e Emissions Intensity Indicator | Variation from 2019 (%) |
| 2019 | 0.392 | - |
| 2020 | 0.439 | 12% |
| 2021 | 0.308 | -21% |
| 2022 | 0.246 | -37% |
Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions
Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions cover indirect emissions resulting from Logoplaste’s value chain activities
Logoplaste’s scope 3 emissions are greater than Logoplaste’s operational GHG emissions.
Logoplaste’s largest category of Scope 3 GHG emissions is category 1, purchased goods and services, more precisely the purchase of raw materials used to produce packaging.
As the majority of our GHG emissions result from the purchase of raw materials, resin choice; increasing incorporation of recycled content; evaluation of alternative recycled resins and bioplastics; and product design and lightweight programs, all of these play a significant role in Logoplaste’s strategy to reduce our corporate carbon footprint.
